* – Daley fined 10 percent of his “show” money for missing weight; the $1,800 was awarded to opponent Hazelett

Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter’s income. They also do not include any other “locker room” or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays.

For example, as discussed above, the figures above do not include the UFC’s traditional “fight night” bonuses. The UFC 108 bonuses were worth $50,000 and awarded to Daley (Knockout of the Night), Miller (Submission of the Night), and Stout and Joe Lauzon (Fight of the Night).

In other words, the above salary figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.

UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey is probably the greatest female fighter on the planet, which is a tremendous feat. So why are we seemingly so obsessed with arguing about whether she could beat up men?
